Description
Baked sweet potato and black bean patties infused with fresh lime juice, these zesty, wholesome patties are crispy on the edges and soft inside—perfect for a vegetarian meal or sandwich filling.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 400 g)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cube sweet potatoes; boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Mash sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add black beans, lime juice, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
- Shape into 8 patties about ½ inch thick and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve warm with avocado, salsa, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For firmer patties, refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes before shaping.
- Leave some black beans partially whole for texture.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
- Pan-fry instead of baking for extra crispiness.
